I am looking for feedback about companies that manufacture / install garage lifts. I have a client that is looking at installing one inside a quonset. More than likely, we'd be looking at a 4-post so that it doesn't have to be anchored (he has underground heating). Anyone have experience with either of these companies? Or is there another option that would work out?
I recommend rotary propac 8,mondial (self levelling, jack tray, drips trays 110v & caster to move, techno lift, direct lift. Majority are 8000lbs capacity.

They have the concrete requirements on the spec sheets I believe.
The 4 post lifts should work on regular concrete pours.
Just went through a new build, and whatever the building code requirement is for garage floors meets all the requirements for the 2 and 4 post. Not sure if that spec had changed over the years though.

It definitely has. I've seen old garage floors that had to be re-poured (around the mounting points) to support two-post lifts. I think 5" is the minimum (that's what she said) for most two-posters.

I thought for 2 post you need at least 6" (+ rebar) and a lot of garage floors can be as thin as 4" fyi. I don't see a typical 4 post on 4" concrete floor being an issue as it's not, but a 2 post I would repour those sections.
